The Temple of the Jade Serpent is a new dungeon in the newest expansion Mists of Pandaria, located in the the Jade Forest. This is where the last emperor defeated the Sha of Doubt, but now the Alliance-Horde conflict has resulted in the Sha overtaking the Temple. The Temple itself is dedicated to one of the August Celestials, Yu'lon the Jade Serpent.[1][2] It is the first dungeon Alliance/Horde players can do when they arrive in Pandaria.

As it looks like from the map Blizzard showed at BlizzCon 2011, it looks like when you arrive at the Temple, you can pick one of the two bosses from either side. Once the group kills one of the bosses, the door to the other will be locked and you have to do the instance again to kill the other one. This is only on normal mode; in heroic, the locked doors will be open and you will be able to kill the other boss.

History

Rising high above the east coast of Pandaria, the Temple of the Jade Serpent stands as a sacred monument to the legendary pandaren emperor Shaohao's victory over the Sha of Doubt thousands of years ago. Recently, a disastrous conflict in the Jade Forest unleashed the sha, and several of the entities have raided the temple's most treasured stores of wisdom and knowledge.[3]

The temple was built in part to house the history of the pandaren and the exploits of their first emperor, Shaohao. It is guarded by one of the August Celestials, Yu'lon the Jade Serpent, until such time as the vessel for a successor is completed by the pandaren. Until the arrival of the Alliance and Horde, the Jade Serpent had not seen many of the races of the other continents of Azeroth in thousands of years, but recent events appear to have compelled Yu'lon into confiding in some of the newly encountered adventurers.
